Hell no I love both. But then again I am part dude. Have only read Steinbeck's the Grapes of Wrath yet though, but East of Eden is first in my line of books to read. I've heard so much praise of it.

Very much enjoying the Mistborn trilogy.. I stopped at the local bookstore that was having a sidewalk sale and picked up some future reads:

Spoiler for Books:


Still working my way through the graphic novels, I didnt even know this was a thing:


Retelling of the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland, last book I needed from the series:


Pratchett + Gaiman, how could I avoid it?


Because only $5 for the hardcover and Ive heard good things:



I think im going to go back and snag this next week and not read it for a really long time:

This was the last book I read. I don't read all that much anymore but my fiance gave it to me and said I would like it. As usual, she was right.

It's about an elderly, cynical and angry man who decides he is going to commit suicide but each attempt gets inadvertently thwarted somehow. There is also a second timeline running throughout that explores his childhood and, mostly, his relationship with his wife. It's funny, sweet, tender and in places very sad.

Reading different versions of The Bible slowly in an attempt to take everything in. I must have gone over the first few verses of Genesis thousands of times over the years, but I never remember to push on. I also want to look into reading "The ___'s Bible" type of books to see if the title is actually fitting.

once you get into the demiurge stuff it really gets deep. plus i learned that the book of thomas is actually syrian literature

okay have a fun day MB
Book of Thomas is the one where kid Jesus kills another kid for kicking down his sandcastle right? That one's raw.

Google Translate gone wrong...




Songs needed the variety above average
and had to suffer in dry periods sooner.
With this you will want to turn loud the music.
My one is quiet loud now.

The plant was heavily dogged by a deer.
The mainbud, although I had not circumcised,
became very very fat too.
If the strain tastes and bites as it smelled in the blossom,
then I'm not more approachable.

A real star between the others, year man.
And with the other two, you could not speak of income.
They were also tweaking.
A pity.
